Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
An exceptional, fast-growing business, trading cheap versus its own history.
GARUDA CONSTRUCT N ENG L is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a fat 22.9% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.64×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about -0.2% of its market value.
Over the last 1 years revenue compounded at 135%/yr and profit at 146%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 37%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is an elite 27.9%. In the latest quarter profit grew 21% versus the prior quarter.
At 12× earnings, the stock sits at the 5th percentile of its own 1.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price asks for only ~-1%/yr growth over a decade — undemanding expectations. The books come through clean — a forensic grade of A, and Altman puts distress risk in the safe zone.

Revenue has grown every year across all 2 financial years shown. 135% CAGR over 1 years — high-growth territory.
Net profit has risen every year — the hallmark of a compounder. Profit is growing faster than revenue (146% vs 135%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a +146% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margins have been stable around 31% — no major structural shift.

Profit grew faster than EPS (146% vs 120%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. 120% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
1 of 2 years had negative operating cash flow — profitability on paper may not translate to cash. Investing outflows exceed operating cash — the company relies on external funding to finance expansion.

When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue rose 18% sequentially — momentum is building. Wide quarterly swings (33% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 25% above earlier ones.
